+ WC have objectivity a better squad with The two let forwards and McGovern
+ I didn’t really comprehend wether it was purely from a football perspective a good match; neutral friends of mine maintained it was a great contest. There is this narrative that they smashed us, but actually they couldn’t put us away. They pushed and pushed and we soaked it up and then came again.
+ The umpiring is genuinely atrocious. Third quarter 18 minute mark Grundy marks and then gets tackled - call is dropping the ball. It should have been a 50. Then Varcoe gets a free for a brilliant tackle a minute later and after the free is paid he’s tackled. 50 every f..ing day. Thomas tackled - even the west coast cheer squad in the commnetary box said it should have been paid. We kick two at the start of the last and surprise surprise - they get a soft free kick.
+ Adams - a warrior. Coxes third was brilliant he threw everything in.
+ we have a makeshift backline, three first years (hell Sier has played what 13 games), and still they cannot break us.
+ And then Maynard. Well the commentator some say was the best player ever says it’s clearly a free. Hell even their coach says I thought he played on. He clearly takes two steps for are after stopping. Play on. Either of those appalling two decisions are called correctly. Who knows.
+ So as good as they are and as (so lots of people here think) dominat; they cannot make us bend. We just get robbed. That’s all.
+ I’m sorry at the pain some of you have experienced. There are some knobs out there. I actually never slag off at any opposition supporters after we win because I know how bad the hurt is, trust me you don’t want to ever be I NSW watching a GF with people yellin out “oh well done number 4”. But here’s the thing. They couldn’t bend us, and I have something no opposition supporter can take away - pride in my football club. There has been some dark days. But the strength of this group is pretty special. The giant awakes. The real one.
+ Enjoy the summer break everyone - it’s game on. If I were Darcy I’d sign whatever they put in front of me. |
Love this post.

| If Darcy or Reidy could have walked to the G one of them should have played. Greenwood should have made way and that is easy to say now it was a no brainer at the selection table. 3 big Eagles up forward ( add Vardy) and another down back. Yes, the umpires are useless in a tight last quarter. Scared to make a mistake that would affect the outcome, they just go with the flow. We were just as good in the last quarter and would have been just as deserved winners. Our injuries unearthed some goers and some that may not make it. Hope Murray?'!! and Elliot are up and about we go and just get Lynch because he would be wasted at Tigerland after our fantastic Prelim. No one will leave us out of a top four pick in 2019. Go Pies lovely to be back in finals. |

That's the thing with kids isn't it, they have a different view point.
My own kids also have the same mindset, as did I once upon a time when I was their age, there's always next year & then the year after that, always the optimist.
However the following season comes & goes, we find ourselves that little bit older & wiser & for some, reality finally sets in & you start to realise that fk, there may not be a next year...
The GF losses just keep adding up & eventually they start to take their toll, there's only so much one can take.
Now the next generation are starting to endure & understand the pain us oldies have been going through. |
Yes, poor kids, welcome to our world of pain, anxiety, bitter disappointment, sadness, yesterday was just de ja vu, over and over and over again, it seeminlgly never ever ends. sigh.

We were robbed. No doubt about it. The greatest player of all time is adamant that a free kick shoulda been paid too. Not much can be done about it now though. |
I was on the other side of the ground, and we all thought that the issue was about Sheed having played on. It's fairly difficult to see the block from the TV angle - from behind the players. Matthews also pointed out that there were only 4 frees payed in the last quarter, that in itself is just not right, and made tagging a lot easier - so favoured the Weagles. |

| Pendles inherited the Travis Cloke curse. Get held and blocked illegally, and the umpires won't see it. |

I've never been prouder to support the Mighty Magpies.
This is a hard time.
This was (for personal reasons) the most important game in my life.
I'm shattered. We're all shattered, but let's hold our head up.
This team will make us ALL even prouder in the coming years. |

I agree with Leigh Matthews on the Maynard 'non-decision' and bemoan that Treloar's final kick did not carry another two foot higher and pas the pack to land in De Goey's lap for the sealer.
I will always love our Club but my mental health will not survive another disappointment like yesterday. I am shattered and taking a break from Nick's to lick my wounds.
Floret Pica Magpie faithful- our turn will come, of that I'm certain. |
Hang in there...we can truly be optimistic about the next few years. This is the opening of the window, not the closing...

Phillips freezes under pressure. Need to upgrade this position. Cant mark, cant tackle, can break tackles, too slow.
Chris Mayne can potentially be an AA wingman next year, if he keeps it up and continues to improve. What he does is amazing if only he can raise that bar further. Some big marks and fantastic pressure, yet so evasive. One of the best on the ground IMO. Id have Mayne locked in for Right wing next year.
Hawthorn in talks with Chad Wingard, we need to Gazump this. Chad Wingard can be very important for Collingwood on the Left Wing next year.
Fingers crossed Jamie Elliot comes good. And he can fill DeGoeys spot once he becomes a full time Mid.
For me, if im going to be extremely critical. Then upgrading Phillips ( too slow, not aggresive enough, cant mark, cant tackle etc ) and Fading out Pendlebury ( Too slow and not aggresive enough ) can significantly change the dynamic of our team.
Wingard replaces Phillips
DeGoey replaces Pendlebury
Moore/Elliot replaces DeGoey

Reid, by all accounts, was ready. It's unfortunate our VFL side was eliminated early. |

I imagine it’s been locked because they think you’re just stirring the possum. I do. Anyone who wants to kick Pendlebury off the team after the season he’s had is either a moron or a troll or possibly both. |
